When I first started the podcast, Collin would always ask me: How long is this week’s episode? And did somebody cry? It did seem like in the early days, when the industry was hanging by a thread, we did a lot of serious mental health content. I joked I was the Brene Brown of the oil business. So I did a thing this week. I went on my friends Donnie and Stephanie’s podcast called Angst and shared a lot, probably too much. Hey, anxiety is something we all share….hit me up with how you think I did….cheers, Chuck.
